[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1391243, member: 588522"] Guy on the Chiefs had his Achilles rupture on an onside attempt (i think) (also believe it was non contact.) Johnny Knox was bent in half on what I think was a punt return fumble (again could be wrong). Guy I cant remember was paralyzed on a kick off (sorry for the ambiguity). It absolutely happens. People, heck some of the fastest, biggest people, are coming full speed at each other with the sole goal of knocking the other down. It's on the same level as a defenseless receiver in my mind. That all said, I dont think changing the fundamentals of football is the solution, if one exists. [/QUOTE]
